Given at our palace this first day of
July, A. D., eighteen hundred and
| eighty-seven, and the fourth of our
reign. KALAKAUA. Reg.
What course the revolution will now
take is not known. The answer of the
king was accepted as an absolute con-
cesslon of every demand made, and
while there is a bitter expression of
| feeling against Kalakaua, it was the be-
liet when the MdriposG sailed
that he would be allowed
to continue on the throne,
| though fears were expressed that Glib
son and other members of the ministry
! might lose their lives. Gibson was ar
rested, although a military guard had
been placed oout his house, owing to
the belief that he intended to steal away
on the steamship MdripoSa. When his
arrest became known, armed citizens to
the number of fully 5000 escorted the
fallen minister to the Pacific warehouse
where Webb. another member of the
late cabinet, and Hayselden, son-in-law
of Gibson. were also taken. AS there
had been no bloodshed up to July |,
when the steamship MdripOS1 sailed, the
hope was EXPRESSED that the revolution
would continue to be bloodless one,
though it might take another shape at
any moment.
Interviews are printed here with mer
chants as to the probable outcome of
the present crisis in the Hawaiian
kingdom, but they are somewhat con-
fiictiDg. Some of those familiar with
affairs on the Islands, contend that the
trouble has only commenced. Upon the
fate Of Gibson considerable is thought
to depend In the past he has had con-
siderable influence with Kalakaua, and
should he regain it, the claim is made
that they might make fight against
the Revolutionist party. One merchant
expressed the belief that as the white
population had determined on a change
and had control of the military
forces they would, if necessary, declare
the monarchy at an end, and set up q
republic. The next steamer from Hon
Olulu will be the australia, to arrive
next Wednesday, when more detailed
information will be available. The
steamer has a large passenger list,
large number of white residents evinc-
ing desire to leave the kingdom in the
present unsettled condition of affairs.
While all nationalities were repre-
scented in the successful revolt made
against Kalakaua, the Americans were
predominant In the revolution, assisted
by the E glish, French and Portuguese
residents. The speeches at the mass
meeting at which the demands were
made upon the King were in English,
with the exception of two in the HaW-
allan tongue. The declarations, how
ever, that the natives were true to the
II -
their negligence that Ex-Minister Glib.
son seemed most to fear. The meeting
was presided over by P G. Jones, mer-
chant at Honolulu, who addressed the
meeting. using the following language:
Il feel honored at being nominated
chairman of this, the largest and most
important, meeting that has ever as
sembled IN this CITY. We have assem-
bled in a constitutional manner, and
propose to conduct it in a constitu-
tional manner. We are here for the
purpose OF asking for good government
"a thing We have not had, but which
we earnestly desire. We, the repre-
sentatives of all nations. are assembled
here, and we can afford to conduct our
selves In firm and dignified manner,
because we are firm and determined in
what we ASK
William Il. Green, also merchant at
Honolulu and named by the populace
for prime minister, in the course of
speech, said government had become
intolerable. and that it was necessary
to demand and, if necessary, fight for
constitutional monarchy.
w. A. Kinney, another speaker,
said he would prefer to have the
country independent, but that the flag
should be kept clean at all hazards.
1--WE need he said, "a new constitu-
ton. The miserable rag we have does
not afford an adequate representation,
nor impose proper restrictions upon
the power OF the throne. The franchise
will be reconstructed and the King will
have power as great as the Queen of
Great Britain. That ought to be
enough for him. If to his own
rights he wants to add the rights of
10000 subjects heis rot going to have
them. The revolution of thought will
be followed by revolution of arms, as
it always has been, if our reasonable
requests are not granted.
s. B Dale, another speaker, said thew
would give the King just one chance
to reform, and no more.
